Once it was dry I sanded the general shape of the stock by hand. I glued the pink foam on using some PVA glue and left it overnight. The reasoning behind this was I had attempted a Fallout Sniper rifle a few months back making the whole stock from solid MDF, and although I got the general shape right, it just got far too tedious trying to sand it into shape (plus the fact it weighed a ton)
My plan is to have an MDF central spine, with pink foam building up the shape of the stock.
(I left the section of receiver a bit longer to let me clamp it while I'm working on it) I started building it last night, but it didn't even occur to me to take photos at first so I'll have to describe the first couple of hours.įirst things first, using the in-game render (top photo), I drew up some plans and cut the shape of the stock plus half of the receiver out of 6mm MDF. This was far better looking in my opinion, so I went with this one.
